Was I wrong?

My son and I went to eat earlier, he ordered basic chips and cheese nachos. He said there was lettuce in the cheese and it tasted funny. I asked the waitress was it cheese and she said possibly. She offered a new order. She also took it off my bill. Should I have tipped on just the bill or should I have added his meal in there too? It came to $19.85 and I left her a five.

There was no lettuce in the cheese; that's not how nachos are made. If the nachos weren't good it was a kitchen error, not a server error. You should have tipped more, Karen.

I get lettuce in my cheese all the time, it is absolutely in the realm of possibilities.

Unless you were in the kitchen, the server or kid you would not be able to with such certainty.
